Contrast-induced early repolarization pattern and ventricular fibrillation

Abstract

Malignant arrhythmias during coronary angiography consist a complication of the procedure. Clinicians should be aware that intracoronary infusion of contrast medium can lead to physiological changes that lower the ventricular fibrillation threshold.

Keywords: J waves; contrast medium; coronary angiography; ventricular fibrillation.
